The Affordable Summer Capsule We Are All Completely Obsessed With
When it comes to pinpointing affordable pieces that look good year after year, the team at Who What Wear are, if I could be permitted to say, connoisseurs. We know a good buy when we see one, and this week, the arrival of 14 summer-friendly items—a perfectly formed capsule, if you will—has everyone here in the office excited. Okay, so we’re slightly biased because this sustainable range has been designed with the coolest people we know: YOU! Thousands of members of our community banded together a few months ago to start a very innovative and agenda-setting process alongside our editors, in which not only were the demands and desires of our audience first put forward as design inspiration but those involved had a chance to make the big and small decisions...
I’m Channelling French Girl on the Beach With These 10 Items
I’ve dedicated a decade of my life to writing about French style, but one subject I’ve admittedly overlooked is swimwear. For me, swimwear has never held much allure—I put this down to living in Britain, where many of us only require swimwear whenever we take a trip abroad. The fact is I would always rather spend my money on dresses and bags and sandals over a new swimsuit or bikini I’d only wear for one 14-day streak each year. However, after not being on holiday or in an exotic climate in over three years, for once, I’m excited to begin assembling my beachwear wardrobe for this summer. This brings me back to the focus of this feature: What do French women wear to the beach? You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating shou...
Emily Ratajkowski Just Wore the Chicest Throw-On Summer Outfit
Emily Ratajkowski has just reminded us that summer style is all about comfort. When the sun comes out, having a stylish co-ord ready to go means less time thinking of what you are going to wear and more time soaking up the sun. Personally, I’m sold. We’ve seen plenty of variations on the co-ord throughout the years, but this season, it’s all about the linen shirt-and-shorts combo. And with approval from EmRata, the queen of swimwear, you know that it’s a great style choice for the beach and beyond. A chic co-ord will always look pulled together, and with minimal effort required when it comes to styling, it really is a win-win. Take style tips from Ratajkowski and layer the shirt over a bikini top or button it up all the way ...
Aperol Spritz Dressing Is Having a Moment—Here’s How to Wear This Colour
Think dresses, coats, jumpsuits and suiting in every shade of sunset orange, and you’ll be on the right track. Michael Kors’s pencil dresses (and matching shoulder-robed coats) brightened up the runway, while Alexander McQueen’s puffball-skirted dresses were a bright break in the midst of plenty of black leather.

The One Shoe Style to Avoid On Your Wedding Day, and 8 You’ll Dance All Night In
As a stylist, shoe connoisseur and previous bride, I’d like to think I’m in a pretty good place to offer advice on what footwear options will work best on your big day. Of course, every wedding is different, and the shoes you choose may be somewhat dictated by the setting. You absolutely will not want stilettos on a beach, for example, unless you want to be sinking while saying “I do.” But equally, you might not want boho flats if you’re comfortable in heels and your dress requires a bit of height. I can, with good authority, though, say that the one heel you should steer clear of on your big day (if comfort is in any way a deciding factor) is a sky-high pointed-toe stiletto. While they are, of course, totally glam, they put...
7 Summer Outfits to See You Through This Week’s Heatwave
As anyone living in the unpredictable English climate knows, dressing for spells of warm weather can be challenging. If you’ve ever asked the age-old questions Will I need to bring a jacket? and Is that… rain? you’ll know that consistency isn’t Britain’s forte, but judging by the current forecast in the UK, the next week is looking optimistically sunny, and I am ready for it. As someone who has now had plenty of experience in strategic layering, I thought I would take some time to share my knowledge of how exactly to dress when the mercury rises (and it does involve some sensible sleeves, just in case). From clever co-ords to reliable dresses, there’s no one formula when it comes to dressing for warm weather. And at the end of the day...
The Best Dressed People I Know Always Wear This Summer Trend
When you think of summer fashion, there are likely a few things that will come to mind. Strappy dresses, espadrilles, sun hats and swimsuits are just some of the garments and accessories that are so intrinsic to the warm-weather season. Lately, however, I’ve noticed that fashion types have been wearing another key wardrobe component commonly associated with the cooler months, even in peak temperatures. I’m talking about tailoring. No longer is tailoring relegated solely to our workwear wardrobe. If nothing else, lockdown blurred many a sartorial line, and now, tailoring worn outside of the office is more popular than ever. And fashion’s obsession with it is showing no signs of waning as we enter summer. In fact, I’d go as far as to say it’s ramping up. Yo...
16 Plus-Size Wedding Guest Outfits I’d Genuinely Love to Wear
When choosing your outfit, you need to remember to look on your invite to see if the couple have given a dress code. But I always go by the rule that it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve likely seen that I enjoy a colourful or printed outfit. I very much enjoy a bold look. I also really enjoy the conversations these looks start. I find an outfit with a little story to tell is a brilliant way to meet people, and it’s especially helpful if you don’t know many people at the event. I would take this opportunity to look to smaller brands that might have more unusual made-to-order or pre-sale pieces, such as Mary Benson, Loud Bodies and Olivia Rubin, as you usually have plenty of time to plan. I would also check out rental sit...
This Retro Product Works Wonders on Thin Hair, and It Just Made a Comeback
“The best way to use a hair mousse is to really pump out a golf ball–size amount into the palm of your hands and then use your fingers to take small amounts and slowly rake it through the hair, starting at the ends and using the remaining amount of mousse to be scrunched into the roots,” says King. “If you have curly hair, I would do the same thing, but always scrunch into the hair. Do not rake through the hair because this can create frizz. So always scrunch into the hair, starting at the mid-lengths to ends and then ending the last amount scrunching at the roots.” The great thing about mousse is that it can work for all hair types and textures. “Mousse is really good because it encourages really defined curls or coils in type 3 and type 4 hair,” h...
Zara’s, H&M’s, and Mango’s Swimwear Is Great—These 39 Styles Stand Out
The second the first warm day comes along, my attention shifts to all things swimwear, partly because of my job as a fashion editor and partly because I prefer to spend 99% of my time in the summer in a bikini or one-piece. So because of the sunny days peaking through over the last few weeks, I’ve already spent quite a few hours scouring the swimwear offerings this year. My biggest takeaway? Zara, H&M, and Mango have seriously stepped up their games in the department. From upside-down bikinis to elegant maillots decorated with floral appliqués, the swimwear designers at Zara, H&M, and Mango went hard this summer. And since their prices don’t come close to ones at many swimwear brands, where a separate bikini top could cost yo...
26 Sale Buys That Are Officially Trend-Proof
There are certain summer staples that you can invest in now and wear year after year. Elevated sandals are a must for these warmer days, and a basket bag will be useful for every outing, be it a beach trip or an errand run. Better still, some pieces just need clever styling to make them appropriate for all four seasons. A great dress works just as well with sandals as it does with boots for colder months, and a crisp white shirt can go from boardroom tailoring to holiday cover-up with just a few sartorial tweaks. Fortunately for us, Ralph Lauren has plenty of pieces that aren’t bound by trend or season, which makes them sound style investments. Along with staple pieces, every great wardrobe needs a few stand-out items—a bold colour moment or an interesting design to mix with timeless...
Yes, This Is the Single Best Makeup Product for a Healthy-Looking Glow
A great highlighter, suited to your skin’s wants and needs, has the ability to supercharge your face at any given moment. Whether you want just a dot of light-reflecting pigment on the tip of your nose or a full-blown doughnut glaze on your cheekbones, a highlighter is the best way to add super-quick radiance to pin-pointed areas of the face and create the illusion of full-face radiance. Having said that, as someone who likes to keep their makeup look low-key (for the most part, anyway), I know all too well how daunting the idea of using highlighter can be. So to help you make the right highlighter decision, I’ve rounded up the very best fool-proof formulas out there to meet your every highlighting need. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dat...
